heat update and spa trip!

I'm pretty sure the heat works now! Yay! Our landlord Walter came by the other day and messed with something on the wall so it should work now apparently. Very pumped about that!

Also, our SAI people took us to a spa today! It was called Terme Antica Querciolaia, and it's basically a place for lounging by the pool and getting massages and such. Even though it's November, the warm pool allowed us to swim outside in the sulfur-enriched water. Very good for the skin! I also experienced going in a sauna for the first time, which was pretty cool. Probably won't do that too often, but it felt good to sweat out some "toxins" as they say. Here is what the pool looked like outside:

I didn't get any pictures myself, but it was still a fun and relaxing day. This was our last day trip with our SAI program, but I still have some adventures to come! Here is a look at the last 5 weeks I have here in Italy:

Next weekend: My class takes a trip to Pompeii! Very excited to go there!
Thanksgiving weekend: My friend Caitlin will be visiting me, since she is studying abroad in Amsterdam and wants to see Florence! (and me!)
Last weekend in November: Trip to Austria/Germany! Can't wait!
Weekend before finals: A LOT of studying!

Then it will be finals week, and I come home the 15th! I have 2 papers to write and a couple big projects to do, but it won't be too terrible. More to come soon! =]
